I've always been a sucker for vintage patterns. I've been collecting them for a few years now. When i lived in Atlanta i had a HUGE stash of vintage patterns that were ten cents each and spanned from the forties to the 70's. They got destroyed however during the cross country move and I've been trying to build anew ever since. Some via ebay and etsy and I'm always on the look out when I'm at antique malls and thrift stores. Today I was on the Butterick website looking for a pattern to use for a dress I'm making for my mom (a black party where everyone attending must wear black) She specifically told me nothing to "frou frou" which means all of my skirted patterns were out and anything with a puff sleeve was out. So anyway I'm on the butterick site and i notice that they produce a few of their vintage patterns. And cute ones too! and knowing that joanns regularly has 99cent pattern sells looks as if these patterns will soon become mine.
